IN HER OWN COIN.
BY ALICE DALE.

II ed you to be my wife-be-
cause
Belle Eningham lifted her dark
head with naughty little gesture
of disdain, and her dusky eyes
flashed as she interrupted supercili-
ousiy.
Il have heard quite enough, Mr..
Vernon = she said, coldly. You
have no right to presume upon my
kindness to you by making such
confession as this. You forget our
relative positions. I am the daugh-
ter of Horace bingham, the rich
est man in Glendale, while you
are
Lawrence ernon--your father
secretary ? the young man interpos-
ed quite as haughtily. i am under
obligations, Miss Effingham, for
your reminder of the disparity be-
tween us. Rest assured, shall
never again transgress the prescrib-
ed bounds, Il wish you a happy
life. and trust that the day will
ne, er dawn when you will regret to-
davis decision. But pardon me,
Miss Eflingham, if add that [ be-
lieve YOU will live to regret it. Good
morningl'
He arose from his seat-tall brown
eyed, brown haired, a young mar
worth looking at-and without an
other word or backward glance,
he withdrew from the room. Belle
Efingham stared after the graceful
retreating figure, too utterly over
come with amazement to utter
word. A naughty smile touched
her red lips at last, but the cold,
sneering expression had no effect
upon Lawrence Vernon-henceforth,
to him, her smiles and her burrows
were the same.
He fastened from the house--a
handsome mansion in the subui bs of
the pretty town of Glendale, and
passing out the spacious and wei
kept grounds. His face was very
pale and stern, and in his brown
eyes there was look of intense
pain.
'Heartless coquette = he muttered,
as he passed down side path to
where a perfect wilderness of roses
grew. She has led me on, lured me
to her side with smiles and sweet
words, showed me the marked pre-
ference always, and I was foolish,
mad and blind enough to believe
that she loved me even as l had
learned to love her. | should have
known that she is incapable of true
and lasting affection. Yet some
how it comes upon me with sud-
den shock-I feel that my heart
could not have been truly hers, or
never would have felt such anger
when heard her decision. I!would
have felt more sorrow than anger.
Perhaps it was more fancy than love
after all. In that case | shall learn
to forget herP
He paused as he spoke the words
for CLEAN of light had caught
his eye, and he beheld pretty pic
ture. Under the luxuriant tangle
of red and yellow roses, hammock
swung lazily, and within it girl,
young, slim and lissom. She was
not over sixteen, and she was Tar
from pretty. Her face was too pale
and pensive, and her'gray eyes were
not particularly beautiful, she had
delicate features, and her nut brown
hair was fastened at the ba * of her
head in soft, loose knot. One small
sandaled foot peeped from beneath
her snowy cambria dress, slender
hand held an open book. She glanc-
ed up as he drew near, and look
half startled, halfdefant, fitted over
her face.
'Beatrix p he said, softly.
She sat up at once, confused and
blushing. He came to the side of
the hammock and held out his hand

yon,' he said softly.
And when she lifted her head
again he was gone. She clasped her
hands over her eyes and burst into
a storm of sobs and tears. Her
slender frame shook with emotion /;
all her girls heart had gone out to
this man, who, in her eyes, was a
very demigod-the man whom her
elder sister had so scornfully reject

sAh, Vernon, how are you +!
When did you get back T? 1t is a
sight for sore eyes to see you after
so long an a bsence; let me see, five
years, isn't since you left old Efling-

And Jack Lowell shook Lawrence
Vernon's hand in cordial greeting.
Vernon smiled.
Yes, just five years since l was
here, he returned, and many changes
have occurred since then.
Indeed, you are ght,old fellow
cried Jack, earnestly. There, for
instance, was the failure of old Eff
inc ham himself-Prince Effingham,

years ago it was, he broke not a
copper left, and then committed sui

Lawrence shook his head.
No, no, he faltered, only, Jack,
your news surprised me. had not
heard it before
coils true true, tbs pity, and
pity tits true - quoted Lowell,
tersely 'and by Jove, Lawrence,
there goes Beatrix Bingham now !
See, on the other side of the street,
that shabby dressed woman in rusty
black. Helloa are you off 2
For, with muttered good bye,
Lawrence Vernon had darted away
A few hasty stri les and he had
crossed the street, and was walking
along in the direction of the slender
figure, so shabbily attired, the roll
of music in her hand revealing her
calling of music teacher.

Just then Lawrence Vernon's
quick eye caught a glimpse of q
pearl ring upon her other hand
which was ungloved.
'Trixy,' he faltered, you have not
forgotten?
She made no answer, but there is
a silence which speaks louder thar
words.
Two days after, Lawrence Vernon
stood face to face with his old love
Belle Eflingham. She had heard o.
his arrival in Glendale, and sent hin
tiny, perfumed note of invitation
to call upon her, appointing an hour
when she knew that her sister Bea
trix would be absent upon hel
rounds among her music scholars.
Belle was attired in plain, blacl
dress but she looked very hand
